@ColdJ You really need a GitHub repository for all this wonderful stuff

I think of GitHub as being for people who truly create stuff. I just adapt the great stuff others have done, to do new things.

Now. this is an alternate version of the Sea Drone. I tried for ages to have a version that could dock without needing to attack a docking port and though I succeeded, I can't stop it from over lapping to attach at the middle of the model, so instead I have created one that uses my micro docking port, Rear node adjusted. It now comes in to the SPH the right way up so that the green light is on the right and the red on the left. Lowered it's thrust a bit because it still felt too powerful. Hopefully people realised that for fine manuvering you simply lowered the thrust limiter in the UI. It works very well and jumps back in to dock. The micro docking port fits perfectly in the carriers nodes. So in.

GameData\WorkingUnderLite\SeaDrone\ create a new cfg called SeaHelper.cfg and paste in and save the following.

The engine in these shots is balanced out by my green ballast weight, set at 28 units. So entire craft is 4 pieces.

ColdJ · July 29, 2021

I modified the fold out engines to have a water mode. They will take some thought to balance when creating your craft. But they have a reverse mode so can be useful, especially if you want the rear of the craft free to use the grabber on the carrier or pusher.

Oh, when you undock a second time from a docking port with the Sea Drone, make sure to click control from here on the drone UI to get orientated right.

Adaptation is creative. Never doubt that. It sees the world as it is and then remakes it with a dash of new and spot of familiar.

ColdJ · July 29, 2021

For mr @Ben J. Kerman and anyone else who likes stunt planes. A smoke trail device for leaving a (captain obvious) smoke trail behind your plane.

Ben J. Kerman, I would appreciate a comment or like to let me know you have got this thank you.

in GameData\Squad\Parts\Engine\solidBoosterSep\ please create a blank text file saved as SmokeTrail.cfg and then copy and paste in the following, then save. You will now have in the Utility section a Device you can attach to your plane and activate in flight. Please remember to turn off the Decoupler staging in the UI if you don't want it to drop straight off when you start. The staging of the smoke is off by default but can be turned on. Typing smoke or trail or cj will bring it up in the parts search. Will run for around 2 minutes.

In here GameData\Squad\Parts\Aero\airplaneFins\ I created a tail fin with an attach node that I like to use as a Ships rudder.

Called tailRudder.cfg the usual copy , paste, save in.

I have gone back and made some edits to the 2 AES pods to make then more resilent, vapourising on a water splash down was annoying.

Also improved the ducted fans and hopefully fixed the fans RCS system, though haven't tested yet so don't quote me on that.

Have you had a chance to test yet?

Yes. all working properly. Just been fixing up some other things like the excellent jet wings in the Buffalo mod. I am now 10 hours overdue for bed and am a very naughty boy.

Oh and if wasn't clear the ones I put up earlier on this thread were edited to the new configs.

ColdJ · August 1, 2021

Hello all. This is an alternate config and skin for Wild Blue Industries Buffalo mod Jet Wings. It fixes some things broken by Squad's changes over the versions.

GameData\WildBlueIndustries\Buffalo\Parts\JetWing\

This is the skin alernative called JetWingCJ.png

and this is the config file called JetWingCJ.cfg

   description = Created by pioneer Yves Kerman, the JetWing can trace its lineage back to the KQ-1 winged jetpack. The modern JetWing gives the power of flight to an individual kerbal crazy enough to wear a tiny set of wings and jet engines. Its vertical take off and landing (VTOL) hover capability and stability assist make it easy to fly. The engines can run on any world with an atmosphere thanks to its monopropellant fuel, but it comes at the expense of endurance. Or, switch over to liquid fuel and fly on worlds with oxygenated atmosphers with increased endurance. With a proper inventory system, the JetWing can be refueled simply by bolting it to the side of a craft and performing a standard fuel transfer. And don't forget the JetWing accessories...

This an improved version of the stunt smoke trail device that you can put on a plane to leave a trail. It now has a node as well as surface attach, both ways can be decoupled after use. It is smaller and can be attached the Jet Wings. It can also be turned off and on for as long as it's fuel lasts. Remember to destage the decouplers in the SPH before you go out.

Goes in here. GameData\Squad\Parts\Engine\solidBoosterSep\ and is called SmokeTrail.cfg

And then just add this to the part variant module.

So I did some tinkering and I made a bubble engine out of the Orbital Tug Extend engine

It basically guts the LFO/Mono engine and replaces it with a scaled down version of the Otter 125 Impeller engine with audio and bubble effects.
Also added the Otter nuclear reactor to the pod... the red light means it's on and the ship is "hot" (turns green when running only on battery. Uses gear action group to control).

Addendum:

And it fits in a MK3 Cargo hold... seaplane air lifted submarines anyone?

This makes me wonder if it would be possible to add a light/sensor that could detect when engine is running monopropellant, electricity, other with red, green, yellow colored hues. This is way out of my depth though (buh dum tish)

that could detect when engine

Best I can come up with is to tie the light by action group on events. so a switch engine AG could also change the light colour. The LED indicator I'm using has only two light settings on or off.

I suppose a custom mod could "monitor all these things" and be tied to an indicator light. but that's way above my pay-grade. My programming is mainly in the area of punch cards and FORTRAN from an age when dinosaurs ruled the world and a computer filled a large building.

LoL I remember that! Shoot, I remember coding 8080 ML too tho so... Yeah...

Good idea. I was thinking along the lines of a scripted mod to make it .. "foolproof" so to speak, but that will definitely do for what I have in mind. Thanx for the assist!

Very cool indeed @Caerfinon.

My completely ignored on KerbalX, SemiTrailer, heavy lift plane would be able to handle 3 of those subs I believe.

I was so proud that I had made a plane with a detachable payload trailer, but no one else seemed to care for it.

Keep up your good works.

ColdJ · August 4, 2021

This makes a Kerbal carryable, inflatable change room or beachball. You need a Kerbal Engineer to put it on the ground.

You will need to add SunkWorks by @Angel-125 for the change function.

The change function is a work in progress, and for me at least goes funny on the 3rd change in a pod. You then need to reset the suit in the SPH.

It uses the Derp2 pod from the USI (Umbra Space Industries) service pack that is in their last Explorer pack mod.

Hello all. Well I have been slowly learning new tricks and sadly what I have to show can't just be put in a config file as I have been using BforArtists 2 to repair and even now create doors/airlocks. I got tired of asking people if they could make me a put anywhere hatch, and never getting any interest, so I have made my own. It works well and can transform in the SPH from a rectangular door to a circular 1. So here are some beauty shots of the work I have been doing. Oh I also have a proper 2 kerbal, seated properly, MK1 inline cockpit now as well.

Nice! I didn't realize you were working on the whole line. You even got the large one that has sorely needed extras! Great work :grin:

Thank you. D

This is my 2 man Mk1 inline cockpit.

Hi all. A few last things to sort out and then the test version oh H.A.D.D can go up on space dock for you to try.

Hatches.Airlocks.Doors.Docking. Most meshes by TiktaalikDreaming, An animated lock made by Linixgurugamer, The Mk2 Endcap by SuicidalInsanity and then some adaptions and basic creations by me.
